HE LEFT THE CITY AND MOVED- ON TO ANOTHER PLACE
HE TRIED HARD TO KEEP UP WITH LIFE’S DEMANDING PACE
HE WAS SO SURE THAT HE HAD MADE A NEW START
THIS WANDERLUST OF HIS, WOULD MEND A BROKEN HEART
HE RAN TILL HE WAS BREATHLESS ,HIS LUNGS BURSTING WITH PAIN
BUT WHAT HE COULDN’T SEE, WAS LOVE’S INVISIBLE CHAIN
THAT KEPT HIM A PRISONER WITH MEMORIES OF HIS PAST
WHILE HE KEPT FOOLING HIMSELF THAT MEMORIES WON’T LAST
HE TRAVELED TO MOUNTAINS AND TO THE SEA SHORE
IN SEARCH OF A PLACE, WHERE HE’D MISS HER NO MORE
HE SEARCHED FOR PEACE AND BEAUTY, IN EVERY THING
BUT INSIDE HIS HEART HE KNEW, SOMETHING WAS MISSING
HE TRIED NEW VENTURES, AND TRIED NEW SKILLS
TO FORGET THE HURT, AND PAIN THAT KILLS
BUT NOTHING IN THIS WORLD WOULD EVER REPLACE
ALL THOSE DREAMS AND HER SMILING FACE
BUT TIME IS A HEALER, SO ONLY TIME WILL HEAL
NO MATTER WHAT’S SHATTERED, OR WHAT YOU FEEL
SO AS TIME GOES BY, MEMORIES WILL FADE AWAY
AND IT’S SURE TO HAPPEN,VERY SOON, SOME DAY
ALL HE NEEDS TO DO IS FIND SOMEONE ELSE
TO FILL THE VOID THAT WAS LEFT IN HIS HEART
THIS AND ONLY THIS WILL GIVE
HIS LIFE A NEW MEANING,A NEW START
So beautifully written. You have a flair for writing simple, yet touching and meaningful poems. Loved it. It rings a bell and I know what u want to say and I pray and hope that time will heal the wounds and make him as good as new. What can I say and how do I express in words what I am feeling in my heart. All I can say is Hats Off to you Johnu. You have done it and you do it again and again. Keep blogging. Looking forward to more soon.

Thanx to all you guys,for being so generous with the comments and appreciating an amateur like me. I feel like dwarf in the midst of you giants, but with time I may grow & stand tall and more confident.
ReplyDelete“...because he had no place he could stay in without getting tired of it and because there was nowhere to go but everywhere, keep rolling under the stars...”
ReplyDeleteDreams and wanderlust go together go together huh, Dad? Only later does one realize it's the running away from a dream that created that wanderlust...
Well, as usual, I'm blown away by the way you write...I'm yet to experience these feelings though, of travelling to escape :)
Loved it...waiting till tomorrow(but I don't think I'll have to:p) for the next:)
very very beautiful!
